From their web-site, it showed 17 pages of rules for the basic game and another 47 pages for the advance game.

They look interesting but it seem like they would just be more games to sit on my shelf!

Hello Jay,

Bought all three and find they are fun to play. I'm a solo player, so that has a big influence on my opinion.

I purchased the original Yaquinto versions when they were new, and gave up on them pretty quickly due to over complication and less than impressive components.

The GMT series is very manageable and easy to walk away from and pick back up a couple days later. It is very much an attractive "miniatures" sort of game with unit details on individual cards and the counters acting as single vehicles or infantry "stands." The counters are "virtually" single-sided as there are different units on each side and damage is noted with marker counters. They would be perfect for laser cutting since there is no front or back. The rules could easily be used with FoW mounted minis.

Bottom line: They are expensive, high quality and fun to play. I'll go for Panzer before ASL when I want a squad level game on the Eastern Front. Looking forward to early war add-ons and saving up my pennies since I have to buy both PzG and Pz series now.

Hope that helps. Cloaking back to lurker now.
